It's all a gift isn't it? My grandparents considered all that they had a gift. Perhaps they were only too aware that no matter how hard you worked, there were just too many things outside your control.
I miss the fruit from around there. My aunt had the best of all worlds, from my point of view. A suburban home on a lot large enough to have an extensive fruit and vegetable garden. Granny Smith apples fresh off the tree. Mmmmmm......
My father grew tomatoes and cucumbers and peppers (tho the dogs had a particular fondness for peppers). One year we actually got corn to grow large enough to eat.
